highly recommended

A breakthrough approach that offers hope to exhausted parents looking for gentle ways to help their baby sleep without the heart-wrenching tears. Until now the only two ways to deal with sleepless nights were to let your baby cry herself to sleep or to become a sleep-deprived martyr and tough it out from dusk until dawn. The No-Cry Sleep Solution will show you how it is entirely possible and within your grasp to help your baby fall asleep peacefully--and stay asleep all night long.

It works!!!

I bought this book because I was exhausted and about 650 people had given it positive reviews. It actually does work!!! Within 12 days, my son was sleeping through the night, and I re-entered the world of functioning, thinking human beings!! Pantley has taken a very scientific approach to developing this method, and it shows. It seems to be geared more toward co-sleeping families, but she includes advice for crib-sleepers as well.

The Book's Title Says It All!

We did the Ferber method of sleep training with my son when he was 5 months old, and it worked very well at that age. He was a great sleeper and napper from that point until at 8 months old when he got a cold/stuffy nose that hung around for 2 weeks - during which time he couldn't sleep well and in order for him to be able to breathe through his nose at all, we had to hold him upright against our chests, so that's what we did for him to fall asleep for naps and at bedtime. After the cold finally went away and we attempted to go back to our old routine of laying him down (sleepy but awake) to sleep, he would start crying, and was by then able to pull himself up to standing, which made the whole process much worse.

After a few days of attempting to retrain with the Ferber method, I decided it wasn't worth it. Even though I knew the Ferber method would probably work again eventually, all I could think was: how many days of misery would it take, and then what would happen the next time he got sick or we traveled? I definitely did not want to go through the stress and guilt of hearing him cry if we would have to retrain with the Ferber method each time something like that happened.

So, I decided to read the No Cry Sleep Solution. She gives many good pointers for helping your baby to fall asleep as well as to sleep longer, both at naps and at bedtime/through the night. We were already employing the majority of her ideas, but I did get new information that I feel is sound advice. The best evidence is that my son will now allow us to lay him down for naps and at bedtime as he's sleepy, but falls asleep on his own, with no crying. I admit this approach requires more patience and time initially, but in my opinion it was totally worth it to avoid the days of crying! I would suggest reading this book to any parent interested in learning good techniques for helping their baby to sleep well. I initially checked this out through the library but intend to buy one to have on hand for future reference with our next child(ren)!

An Approach That Feels Right

The No-Cry Sleep Solution book helped us to help our baby get into a healthy sleep rhythm in a gentle, gradual, intuitive way that felt right. Reading the book made me feel calm and, as a result, I was able to carry out the advice in the book with confidence and see results quickly.

It's very obvious that this book was written by an experienced, compassionate, caring mother. Her tone is very pleasant and reassuring and her message and methods are clear.

If you need guidance during the rough period when it seems your baby will never have a consistent sleep schedule and you feel like all the other books are either self-contradictory or simply not working, definitely try The No-Sleep Solution.

Wonderful Advices

Our 10-month old sleeps very well already. But once in a while she'll wake up through out the night, while other nights she sleeps through. I bought this book to make sure we are doing the right things. I am impressed with the research the author has done. I now know what we are doing right on the nights our baby sleeps through and what we have done wrong when she keeps getting up at night. This is a must-read for all parents! The book even provides advices to use when your baby reaches different ages. I really don't have much time to read, so I read this book while my baby plays in her crib before she falls asleep. I can then use the advices I learned on her next nap. No more crying to sleep! No more guilt!
